Pandemic delays pier expansion


With the proposed expansion project, the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal in Penang will be able to accommodate two mega-sized cruise ships simultaneously on the outer berths along with one small-sized vessel and a medium one on the inner berths.

THE completion date for the RM155mil expansion work at Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT) in George Town, Penang, has been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Penang Port Commission (PPC) chairman Datuk Tan Teik Cheng said the one-year project was earlier slated for completion by early next year.
